Month too Month signs of Winter

It is now November 13th 2012 and Alice is getting close to another birthday.  I am not sure how much she remembers anymore.  She didn't remember me when I got to Delmar Gardens today and wanted me to leave.  The nurse said to leave for about 30 minutes are so and then try and go back in to see her. 

She had not gone to sleep, but was just laying in bed.  When I walked in instead of saying hi hon I tried what the nursed do   Hi Miss Alice and she was fine with me being there then.  i think she feels comfortable with the staff and I just felt strange to her when I came in this morning.

When the therapist came to get her to walk before lunch I walked in front of her and the two Ladies and I  talked about Thanksgiving and I  talked about her dressing she used to make that all her kids loved and they would eat it before it got in the oven if she did not watch them.  LOL  She kind of smiled and said Dressing. 

When I think about how Thanksgivings used to be it is so sad.  This picture is from when she had her broken hip, but I have not a  picture lately and she is 10 times worse.  Prayers is the only thing I can turn too and I am thankful for the time we had a lunch today.  I helped her with the food, but she also fed herself.   

My sister is so lucky to have a man like Irv to love her.  I am so luck to have her for my sister.  I thank God for his blessings for us both.
